R E A D & R E S P O N D: Activities based 0n The Secret Garden

A bit of earthRead through this script with your partner and discuss how to act it out. ●

Mr Craven: Are you well?Mary: Yes.Mr Craven: Do they take good care of you?Mary: Yes. (Mr Craven turns away from her)Mr Craven: I forgot you. How could I remember you? I

intended to send you a governess or nurse or someone of that sort, but I forgot.

Mary: (Choking on the words) Please… please… Mr Craven: (Facing her) What do you want to say?Mary: I am… I am too big for a nurse. And please –

please don’t make me have a governess yet.Mr Craven: (Absent-mindedly) That was what the

Sowerby woman said. (Rousing himself ) What do you want to do?

Mary: (Quavering) Might I… might I have a bit of earth?

Mr Craven: Earth! What do you mean?Mary: To plant seeds in – to make things grow – to

see them come alive.Mr Craven: (Gazes at her) A bit of earth. (Passes a hand

over his eyes) You remind me of someone else who loved the earth and things that grow. When you see a bit of earth you want (he smiles), take it, child, and make it come alive.

Mary: May I take it from anywhere – if it’s not wanted?

Mr Craven: Anywhere. There! You must go now, I am tired.
